New Free Shuttle To Brooklyn Attractions Makes Them Even More Attractive
Unfortunately due to cutbacks, all of these trolley routes have been discontinued as of 2012. What do the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Prospect Park and the Prospect Park Zoo all have in common? They're wonderful NYC cultural institutions that you almost feel guilty for not going to more often (or ever). You know they're great, they're just a little...inconvenient.
But now, they all have something else in common too...they're all stops on the brand new FREE Heart of Brooklyn cultural shuttle. The Heart of Brooklyn Culture Shuttle is a free hop-on hop off service running three different programs:

Museum Mile Brooklyn Style leaves from outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art (at 10am, 1pm and 3:45pm) and from 42nd Street at Bryant Park (15 minutes later) every Sunday and will stop at each of the six Heart of Brooklyn destinations.
Yeah, you live in Brooklyn, but how do you get from Williamsburg to the Prospect Park Zoo? How do to you get from Red Hook to... anywhere! The HOB Saturday Scene shuttle runs once a month from different Brooklyn neighborhoods: second Saturdays from Bay Ridge, third Saturdays from Red Hook and fourth Saturdays from Williamsburg, helping Brooklynites enjoy Brooklyn. The shuttle runs all day Saturday, making continuous loops between 10am and 6pm, stopping at four different Brooklyn neighborhood locations and all 6 cultural destinations.
What happens on that first Saturday? Why, that's the Target First Saturdays Shuttle, which takes people from the Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday events from 5-10pm to places to eat drink and shop in surrounding neighborhoods.
Whether you live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, getting to these Brooklyn hot spots is now so easy you'll really have something to feel guilty for if you don't go. (Just kidding).
